With the growing demand for gigabit services, IoT, and file-sharing applications, businesses need to establish a local area network (LAN) that can meet and anticipate evolving demands. Offering a fraction of the complexity, space, energy, and cost of a traditional copper-based LAN, optical LAN leverages fiber optic cables to provide a high-capacity, future-proof network alternative for connectivity in buildings and campuses that can help reduce energy costs by approximately 40%.
Nokia's new ONT can help businesses effectively extend the reach of their optical LAN to provide more data capacity to employees using video, voice, and data-intensive applications over the network. The ONT can power additional endpoint devices, such as access points or cameras, and can be securely wall-mounted to save space and reduce the risk of damage or theft. Nokia's new ONT for optical LAN will be available in the second quarter of 2024.
